Exactly. Sure, price and design had something to do with it, but the brand was so devalued they couldn't give any model away. The g8 GXPs were some of the best cars GM made and only after they were gone did people realize how nice they were. GM hung the pontiac brand out to die, and the GTO was affected.
And you cannot really compare a v6 Camaro to a GTO. Sure, the 5-7 yr difference in suspension, etc is huge. But 400HP is 400HP. The problem is used v6 camaros are getting closer to the price of GTOs, which makes it interesting.
Cars aren't cheap and money doesn't grow on trees.....so buy what you like.
